q Young Man Commits Suicide by Hanging.
CattIemen's Meeting.
Special to the Gazette.
SHERMAN, TEX, March "A sad and
mysterious suicide occurred about two
miles east of the city this morning, the
victim being young man about twenty
years of age by the name of Charlie Har-
ris, who appears to have taken his own
life by hanging himself with rope in
barn on Mr.. William Noels farm. Char
lie Harris was laOorer and got up about
6 O'Clock and in company with two other
men went out to the barn to feed
the stock. Having nearly completed
their work the two men returned
to the house to breakfast, thinking that
Harris would soon follow them. In
about twenty minutes after colored
man by the name of William Mark went
to the barn to get the calves, and one OF
them ran into the stable, when the col
ored II an went in after it, and on enter
ing saw Harris hanging dead II the air
from a rope attached to one OF
the iOists. He ran out and called
Mr.. NOEL who came Immediately
and cut the rope, thinking perhaps
the young man might survive, but ne was
dead. Justice HinCkle OF this city went
cut with q jury and held an inquest, re-
turning verdict that the deceased came
to his death by hanging himself with
rope. Charley Harris was native OF Kan
sas, where his father resides, land has sis
ter liviDg at B0nham by the name OF Ball.
He has been living in aud near Sherman for
the last three years. The evidence be-
fore the jury of inquest showed that he
had always been in sane state of mind
up to the last moment,and his suicide, if it
was suicid-, is veil in mystery.

A Temperance Town Named After Mrs.
Fra, els willard Founded.
Special to the Gazette.
MONTAGUE, Tex, March Your cor
respondent saw Mr.. J. II. Belcher yester-
day, and having heard that new town
was to be built on the Gainesville, Hen
rietta and Western Railroad, asked him
as to the truth of such rumor. He stated
that it was true that the railroad COM
pany had put in sidetraCks, that q town
site had been laid off, and that it would
be strictly prohibition town and would
be named Willard, in honor of Miss Fran
els willard, founder of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union. This town
will be situated about eight miles west of
Nocono, between Belknap and Salt Creek,
and will be in the best portion of Mon
tague county, surrounded by fine farm
ing land, as good as there is in the state.
This portion of the county is not
settled as thiCkly as other portions
of the county, owing TO the fact that a
great portion of 1t is in large pastures.
Mr. Belcher owns pasture of $4,000
acres, inside OF which the town of Will
lard is to be built, and he informed US
TO suit purchasers, and VIII sell on long
tine at low rate of interest. This will
enable those who want farming lands to
get them on easy terms, and when once
settled and put in good state of cultiva-
ton finer place to enjoy the pleasures
OF country nome can not be found. The
soil is black sandy and prairie Inter
spersed with nice groves of timber, and
e. IL Co., Ill - s
Belcber further states that the road
would be completed to Henrietta by
April /, and then regular passenger
trains would be put on. The prospects
are that this will be the best town in the
county outside of the "Old Sand HILL"
which has not yet succeeded in getting
road built within her corporate limits,
but her citizens stand ready with $4,000
and the right of way through the county
70 be given to the first road that is built
to the town.

BRECKENRIDGE, Tex, Feb. 2S.-The
Commissioners court in regular session
last week reduced the salary of County
Judge Shepard from 5000 to $3.50 per an
mum, aod that of District Clerk KinChen

suit against the county, claiming an
amount equal to that allowed their pre-
decessors, from the time they were sworn
in up to the time this new order reducing
their salary was made.
Notwithstanding the drouth and the
hard times, the names of two
more persons have this week been

THE GREAT ADULTERATOR.
The Eastern Press Aroused by Phil Ar.
mour's Texas Interviews.

NEW YORK, March Armour inter-
views en- route from Galveston last Mon
day are exciting great interest not only
among capitalists on Wall street, but
among sll those who are opposed to the
adulteration of food. The Times devotes
long editorial to the subject this morn
ing. Following is portion of it: Philip
D. Armour Of Chicago, and his associates
own and operate, it is said, the largest
establishment in the world for the manu-
facture and sale of lard and other hog
products. Persons who know how great
an evil the admiration of food has come to
be in this country may be interested
in the frank admissions made by Armour
in Galveston concerning his alleged in
tention to from company with Sl0,000,-
600 for the manufacture Of cotton seed
oil. Here is what the great pork packer
said about his interest in the cotton seed
oil business: "The use of cotton seed oil
in the manufacture of lard and hog pro-
ducts has grown to such an extent in late
years that my establishments alone con-
sumo one-fifth OF the total cotton seed
OF! produced in the United States, hence

NEW YORK, March Richard Braun
schweig and Adolf Schenck, anarchists,
who with Johann Most were last fall
sentenced to Imprisonment on Blackwell's
island, were released yesterday morning,
having served their terms. Friends of the
anarchists and their wives met them at
the foot of East Fifty-second street, and
an affectionate reunion took place. Inc
anarchists were reticent, and did not
make any threats of blowing up capital
lists, as they had often done before the trial
and conviction. Their friends will give
them areception this evening at Clarendon
Hall and ball Sunday evening at Flor
ence Hall. The offense for which they
were convicted was committed at mass
meeting of anarchists held here a little
while before the riots in Chicago .SChenck
was present, and used incendiary Ian
guage. Most and Braunschweig urged
the workingmen to burn, shoot and blow
up the capitalists and police and appro-
pirate their property. Most fourisbed q
rifle, which he showed as a sample of
goods he had to sell st $40 apiece.

cotton seed Oil is an important
item to the frm.''
He also stated that the American Cot
ton-Seed Oil Trust Company, which now
controls almost the entire business OF
making oil from cotton seed, had entered
his field as lard producer by the Dur
chase of q large packing house in Chi
cego.
Do Armour & Co. sell cotton seed
oil?
No, they sell lard, and the consumers
who buy their lard do not know that
cotton seed oil is used as an adulterant.
Cotton seed yields from thirty FIVE to
forty gallons of oil. The oil product last
year was from 100000 to 10000, 900
gallons. Armour admits that he used
in his lard factories onetifth of this,
or from 3,5cO,OO0 to 100000 gallons.
1t appears that exporters and Armour &
Co. take about one-halt OF the entire
product. A large quantity must be used
by other manufacturers of lard who COM
pete with Armour & Co. 1t is asserted
that large part of the remainder is used
by the manufacturers Of cheese, snd
merchants III the cheese trade declare
that this adu,teration ipjuriously effects
our export trade, the quantity of cheese
exported having fallen from 1895, Gil

AWFUL TALES OF SUFFERING.
LONDON, March 2.-Fishermen in the
harboT of Genoa on the night preceding
the earthquake noticed that the sea had
retreated yard or more than usual. In
stinctivelv feeling that something was
about to happen they remained the whole
night in their boats.
The inhabitants of Oneglais complain
that the authorities neleCted them be-
cause OF the belief that the town suffered
less damage than did others. On the con-
trary, they say the walls Of the houses
being well built withstood the shocks; all
the interior collapsed, in consequence of
which 5000 persons are compelled to live
in sheds and tents, suffering greatly
through exposure to wind and rain.
OF 5000 bodies buried atDiano Mariana,
only $50 were identified. Five thousand
persons are still camping out. The air is
becoming horribly offensive owing to the
stencil arising from the corpses that are
yet in the ruins. A structure in which
the injured were sheltered was blown
down, and before the helpless patients
could be removed to a place of safety
they were covered with Snow, and were
half dead from cold

HALIFAX, n S, March 1.-THE publi-
cation of the address OF the Newfound-
land Legislature to the imperial govern
ment has produced sensation. If it is
not declaration of independence it is
the next thing to it. The Newfound-
lanGers tell the imperial government they
own their fisheries and do not propose to
pay the slightest heed to French or
American interests or to brook any in
reference from the imperial govern
ment. The situation is so serious that
Premier Thorburn and Sir Ambrose Shea,
leaders of the opposition, have left the
Legis ature to take care of itself, and
have gone to London to represent the
dangerous character of the prevailing
feeling in Newfoundland. Meanwhile
the people are universally discussing the
benefits of annexation TO the United
States. Anything they say would be
better than the present state of affairs,
and if annexation were submitted to a
popular vote it would be carried by three
fourth majority.
